At the foot of the cross, Mary suffered the terrible loss of her Son. Christ’s awareness of His mother, even as He hung in excruciating pain, attests to His compassion for all of us. Said Barney, “The story of His mortal life begins and ends with his mother, Mary. It is a testament of His goodness and compassion that Christ didn’t overlook the woman who cared for him and stayed at His side.”
